It is just me

The wind blows cold

Chilling down to the bone

I raise my head and close my eyes

Letting the breeze pick up my hair

And lift it free

I wish that I could be

Somewhere else for a little while

In a different life

In a different time

I wish that I could undo

The things that are done

What has brought me to this place

Where my defenses have failed

Where I crumple under the weight

Where I have slipped to my knees

Sinking in a mire of regret

Cold, cold solace is all I find

In the chilling breeze

I raise my arms in supplication

But there is no one to see

It is just me

And the cold chilling wind
